What’s included in Xpand’s long-term Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central support

The exact coverage depends on the selected plan, but every Xpand support relationship is built around operational continuity, structured responsibility, and access to Business Central expertise.

Incident
management

Every question, problem, or unexpected system behaviour enters one controlled support process. Requests are assessed by business impact and urgency, assigned a priority, and managed according to the applicable SLA.

Functional and technical resolution

Functional consultants and technical specialists investigate Business Central, customizations, data, integrations, and connected components together. This reduces unnecessary handovers between providers and helps identify where the problem actually originates.

Root-cause
analysis

The objective is not only to restore operations, but also to understand what happened, why it happened, and what can prevent the same issue from recurring.

Proactive monitoring and risk management

Depending on the plan, Xpand monitors agreed critical scenarios, selected business flows, or the wider supported landscape. Emerging risks, integration failures, performance degradation, and recurring patterns can be identified before they become serious disruptions.

Key-user
assistance

Key users receive practical guidance on system behaviour, existing functionality, and issue resolution. Broader user assistance and training depend on the selected plan and agreed scope.

Knowledge
retention

Important system knowledge, recurring problems, solutions, customizations, integrations, and operational scenarios are retained according to the plan. Managed clients receive a broader, continuously maintained knowledge foundation with AI-assisted access for key users.

Reporting
and oversight

Support activity, incidents, open risks, SLA performance, actions, and priorities are reviewed through the reporting model included in the selected plan.

Improvement planning

Managed Support adds structured backlog governance, upgrade-readiness advice, risk registers, strategic reviews, and recommendations for the continued development of the Business Central landscape.

One long-term Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central partnership

There are two ways to start working with Xpand
New to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Start with a Business Central implementation.

We design and implement the solution, transfer it into ongoing support, and continue protecting and developing the environment after go-live.

Implementation → Support plan → Continuous development

Already using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Start with structured onboarding.

We assess your current Business Central environment, customizations, integrations, critical business processes, support history, and operational risks before establishing the ongoing support model.

Onboarding → Support plan → Continuous development

Both paths lead to the same long-term relationship.

Once your environment is supported by Xpand, incidents, improvements, upgrades, integrations, and future projects are managed through one shared operating model.

How we work with clients

Learn how your environment works
We review your Business Central or NAV setup, customizations, integrations, users, priorities, and existing support processes.
Establish ownership and priorities
Together, we define communication channels, responsibilities, escalation paths, response expectations, and the order in which requests should be handled.
Investigate and resolve
Our functional and technical specialists analyze the issue, identify its cause, and propose a practical solution.
Test and deploy
Changes are tested before release, with clear documentation and coordination to reduce risk to your daily operations.
Look beyond the immediate request
We identify recurring problems, dependencies, technical risks, and opportunities to improve performance or automate processes.
Review and plan
Regular reviews help keep priorities aligned and turn support insights into a practical improvement roadmap.

Xpand has been our Microsoft Dynamics NAV partner for many years. Their depth of knowledge is remarkable – complicated projects that we expect to be challenging, they handle with ease, always coming with solutions rather than problems. What sets them apart is that they stay with us and our customers until the very end –until the system is live and everyone is happy. Great people, great attitude, great quality.

Building a reusable Data Archiving Solution for Microsoft Dynamics NAV in 6 Weeks
